Northwich #1198 Free
At 28.58 km and roughly 49 minutes, this is the longest route at the Northwich test centre, looping through Castle, Witton, Rudheath, Leftwich, Kingsmead and Davenham. Limits run the full range from 20 to 70 mph. With five roundabouts, 22 sets of traffic signals and eight school zones, it packs in nearly every hazard type the centre uses, so stamina and consistent observation matter.
Watch Out For
- Eight school zones, the joint most here, each with reduced limits and children nearby.
- Seven give way junctions demanding careful yielding.
- Fast open sections up to 70 mph that follow tight town driving.
Route Features
- Five roundabouts where you give way to the right and signal left on exit, including one near the southern roundabout.
- Town roads such as Watling Street and Station Road.
- Thirteen right turns, the most demanding turn count among the longer routes.
Test Manoeuvres
- A pull up on the left near the start area.
Key Tips
- Pace yourself over the long distance and keep checking mirrors before each speed change.
- Slow well ahead of the school zone.
